Joris Hoefnagel - Grass Moths and Milkwort manuscript

1562 schuf Georg Bocskay in Wien das Musterbuch der Kalligraphie für Kaiser Ferdinand I. Dreißig Jahre später gab Kaiser Rudolf II., Ferdinands Enkel, Joris Hoefnagel den Auftrag, Bocskais Musterbuch zu beleuchten. Hoefnagel fügte fast jeder Seite Früchte, Blumen und Insekten hinzu und komponierte sie, um die Einheit und Ausgewogenheit des Designs der Seite zu verbessern. Neben einer Obst- und Blumenbeleuchtung fügte Hoefnagel dem Modellbuch einen Abschnitt über die Konstruktion der Buchstaben des Alphabets in Groß- und Kleinbuchstaben hinzu.

This large AI-assisted collection comprises about 60,000 images of botanical drawings and illustrations. It spans from the 14th to 19th century. As of today, we estimate the total number of botanical illustrations in our archive as 200,000 and growing. The "golden age" of botanical illustration is generally considered to be the 18th and 19th centuries, a time when there was a great deal of interest in botany and a proliferation of botanical illustrations being produced. During this period, many of the great botanical illustrators of the time, such as Maria Sybilla Merian, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and John James Audubon, were active and produced some of the most iconic and influential botanical illustrations of all time. In addition to being used for scientific purposes, botanical illustrations were also highly prized for their beauty and were often used to decorate homes and other public spaces. Many of the most famous botanical illustrations from this period are still admired and collected today for their beauty and historical significance. All large Picryl collections were made possible with the development of neural image recognition. We made our best to reduce false-positive image recognition to under 5%.

Georg Bocskay was a Hungarian Renaissance artist and calligrapher, born in Kolozsvár (now Cluj-Napoca, Romania) in 1510. He is best known for his contributions to the art of calligraphy, particularly his development of italic script. Bocskay was trained as a scribe and calligrapher at the court of King Ferdinand I of Hungary, where he worked as a court official. He became famous for his ability to create ornate and intricate manuscripts, often with elaborate borders, illustrations and illuminated letters. In addition to his work as a calligrapher, Bocskay was also an accomplished painter and engraver. He created several works of art, including portraits and landscapes, which demonstrate his mastery of perspective and composition. Bocskay's most significant contribution to the art of calligraphy was his development of italic script. This style of writing, which features slanted letters with a flowing, cursive style, became popular throughout Europe in the 16th century and is still widely used today. Bocskay died in Vienna in 1575, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most influential calligraphers of the Renaissance. His work continues to be studied and admired by artists and scholars around the world.
